    •  DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF AN EXEMPLARY EMBODIMENT
  • Referring to FIG. 1, a system 10 for cooling a battery module 16 is illustrated. The system 10 includes a reservoir 12, a pump 14, and conduits 17, 18 and 19. The reservoir 12 holds a fluid therein. The pump 14 pumps the fluid from the reservoir 12 via the conduit 17. Thereafter, the pump 14 pumps the fluid into the battery module 16 via the conduit 18. The battery module 16 includes a cooling manifold 40, heat exchangers, and a cooling manifold 42 that will be explained in greater detail below. The cooling manifold 40 is configured to provide a substantially equal flow rate of the fluid through each of the respective heat exchangers in the battery module 16 such that the battery cells therein have a substantially equal amount of heat energy removed from the battery cells. Thus, all of the battery cells in the battery module 16 are maintained at a substantially similar temperature resulting in the battery cells having uniform operational characteristics including output voltages. The cooling manifold 42 receives the heated fluid from the heat exchangers in the battery module 16 and routes the heated fluid through the conduit 19 back to the reservoir 12. A battery cell assembly is defined as a housing having a battery cell therein. A battery module is defined as at least two battery cell assemblies physically or electrically coupled together.
  • Referring to FIG. 2, the battery module 16 includes battery cell assemblies 20, 22, 24, 26, 28, 30, 32, 34 and 36 and cooling manifolds 40 and 42.

The frame members 68 and 76 are provided to support the securement member 70, the heat exchanger 72, and the battery cell 74 therebetween. In one exemplary embodiment, the battery cells 62, 66, 74 are lithium-ion battery cells. During operation, the cooling manifold provides a predetermined flow rate of fluid through the heat exchanger 72 such that heat energy is removed from the battery cells 62, 66 and 74 that are thermally coupled to the heat exchanger 72 such that the battery cells 62, 66 and 74 are maintained at a substantially similar temperature.
  • Referring to FIGS. 4 and 5, a structure of the cooling manifold 40 will now be explained. The cooling manifold 40 includes a manifold portion 80, a plurality of vented screws such as vented screws 82, 84, a cover plate 86, a gasket 88, and a plurality of o-rings such as o-ring 89.

  • Referring to FIGS. 6 and 7, the rear wall 92 includes outlet apertures 180, 182, 184, 186, 188, 190, 192, 194 and 196 extending therethrough for receiving vented screws therethrough. The vented screws route fluid from an interior region of the cooling manifold 40 to the battery cell assemblies 20, 22, 24, 26, 28, 30, 32, 34 and 36, respectively. It should be noted that although only vented screws 82, 84 are shown, each of the apertures 180, 182, 184, 186, 188, 190, 192, 194 and 196, would have a corresponding vented screw extending therethrough. Referring to FIGS. 2, 6 and 7, the vented screws extend through the apertures 180, 182, 184, 186, 188, 190, 192, 194 and 196 are received in the apertures 280, 282, 284, 286, 288, 290, 292, 294, 296, respectively in the battery cell assemblies 20, 22, 24, 26, 28, 30, 32, 34, 36, respectively. The apertures 280, 282, 284, 286, 288, 290, 292, 294, 296 fluidly communicate with respective heat exchangers in the battery module 16. Because the vented screws have a substantially similar structure, only the structure of the vented screw 82 will be described. In particular, referring to FIG. 5, the vented screw 82 includes a head portion 230, a threaded portion 232, and an aperture 234 extending through both the headed portion 230 and the threaded portion 232. Thus, the vented screws allow fluid communication between an interior region of the cooling manifold 40 and the heat exchangers in the battery module 16.
  • Referring to FIG. 6, the flow diverter 94 is coupled to the rear wall 92 and extends from the rear wall 92 toward the front end 110 of the peripheral wall 90. The flow diverter 94 is disposed below the inlet aperture 114. The flow diverter 94 is configured to receive fluid from the inlet aperture 114 and to divert the fluid so that a substantially equal flow rate of the fluid is obtained through the outlet apertures 180, 182, 184, 186, 188, 190, 192, 194 and 196 to respective heat exchangers in the battery cell assemblies 20, 22, 24, 26, 28, 30, 32, 34 and 36, respectively, for uniformly cooling the battery cell assemblies. In one exemplary embodiment, the flow diverter 94 comprises a plate 210 with grooves 212, 214, 216 on a top surface thereof that are spaced apart from one another. The grooves 212, 214, 216 extend from an end of the plate 210 proximate to the rear wall 92 toward the cover plate 86. Further, in one exemplary embodiment, the flow diverter 94 is configured such that the flow rate of fluid that is obtained through each outlet aperture is within ±5% of a first flow rate.
  • Referring to FIG. 5, the cover plate 86 is coupled to the front end 110 of the peripheral wall 90. In one exemplary embodiment, the cover plate 86 is constructed from plastic. Of course, in alternative embodiments, the cover plate 86 could be constructed from other materials such as steel, ceramics, or metal alloys for example. In an exemplary embodiment, the cover plate 86 includes apertures 250, 252, 254, 256, 258, 260, 262, 264 extending therethrough. Bolts 300, 302, 304, 306, 308, 310, 312 and 314 extend through the apertures 250, 252, 254, 256, 258, 260, 262 and 264, respectively, of the cover plate 88 and the apertures 150, 152, 154, 156, 158, 160, 162 and 164, respectively of the manifold portion 80 to couple the cover plate 88 to the manifold portion 80.
  • Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2, the cooling manifold 42 has a substantially similar structure as the cooling manifold 40. The cooling manifold 42 receives the heated fluid from the heat exchangers in the battery cell assemblies of the battery module 16 and returns the heated fluid to the reservoir 12, via the conduit 19.
  • The battery module 10 has a cooling manifold that provides a substantial advantage over other battery modules. In particular, the battery module has a cooling manifold that provides a technical effect of diverting fluid such that a substantially equal flow rate of fluid is obtained through heat exchangers in the battery module to maintain battery cells within the battery module at a substantially uniform temperature.
  • While the invention has been described with reference to exemplary embodiments, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes may be made and equivalents may be substituted for elements thereof without departing from the scope of the invention. In addition, many modifications may be made to adapt a particular situation or material to the teachings of the invention without departing from the essential scope thereof. Therefore, it is intended that the invention not be limited to the particular embodiment disclosed for carrying this invention, but that the invention will include all embodiments falling within the scope of the appended claims. Moreover, the use of the terms, first, second, etc. are used to distinguish one element from another. Further, the use of the terms a, an, etc. do not denote a limitation of quantity, but rather denote the presence of at least one of the referenced items.
